A resident who lives opposite said the police and ambulance arrived at about 10.15am. Forensic officers were on the scene at around lunchtime.

A passer by who didn't want to be named said: "There were two ambulances, a paramedic 4x4 and around five police cars here earlier this morning. I live locally and I noticed the large amount of emergency services.

"The building has been there for a long time to my knowledge. I don't think they are holiday apartments any more, even though it says so on the sign. I think they are year-round rentals now."
